How to Make Holiday Luminary Jars

Whether they're charging in the sunlight or illuminating your home, these Holiday Luminary Jars are a whimsical Christmas decoration. Customize your very own winter scene with miniatures and sisal trees, then add the solar light adapter to illuminate it.

1Apply a glue dot

Take 2 to 3 sisal trees of various heights and apply a glue dot to the bottom of each.

2Group the trees

Group the sisal trees in the bottom of an opened mason jar. Place them towards the back of the jar to allow room for your figure.

3Add snow

Apply a layer of artificial snow, approximately 1/2" to 1" deep. You want to add just enough to cover the base of the sisal trees.

4Place miniature

Carefully place the flocked penguin, snowman or deer figurine of your choice into the snow.

5Add doily tape

Take the mason jar rim and add a strip of doily lace tape for some holiday color. Red, blue and white are all festive colors for the season.

6Add solar panel

Open your package of mason jar solar lids. Open the battery compartment and discard the plastic piece, then place the solar panel in your mason jar rim and screw it onto your jar.

7Let panel charge

Allow the solar panel to charge in the sunlight for several hours.Then, enjoy your new luminary!
